Product details
Overview
LTC3862EGN#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a two-phase, constant-frequency, peak current mode step-up DC/DC controller driving N-channel MOSFETs for boost and SEPIC topologies. It operates from 4V to 36V input, delivers up to 96% duty cycle, supports 75kHz–500kHz programmable switching frequency, and integrates dual 5V gate drivers with internal 5V and 3.8V LDOs. It is used in high-efficiency automotive and industrial 48V intermediate bus supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3862EGN#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3862EGN#TRPBF pinout, LTC3862EGN#TRPBF application, or LTC3862EGN#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include multi-phase synchronization capability (SYNC/CLKOUT/PHASEMODE), adjustable leading-edge blanking (BLANK), programmable max duty cycle (DMAX), and ±1% reference accuracy under temperature and line variation.
Technical Context
The LTC3862EGN#TRPBF implements fixed-frequency peak current mode control with two interleaved channels operating 180° out of phase, reducing input/output ripple and filter component stress. Its error amplifier (EA) compares FB voltage against a 1.223V internal reference and drives ITH to modulate peak inductor current; slope compensation gain is adjustable via SLOPE pin.
Phase synchronization uses an internal PLL with SYNC input (50kHz–650kHz range) and CLKOUT output; PHASEMODE pin selects 180°, 120°, or 60° inter-channel phase offset. DMAX pin sets maximum duty cycle (75%, 84%, or 96%) using precise 12× internal clock derivation, independent of external resistor tolerance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4V to 36V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery-supplied systems without pre-regulation. |
| Switching Frequency | 75kHz to 500kHz - set by single external resistor on FREQ pin; enables optimization of size vs. efficiency trade-offs. |
| Max Duty Cycle | Up to 96% - configured via DMAX pin (SGND = 96%, float = 84%, 3V8 = 75%), critical for high-step-up ratio applications. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1% over temperature - ensures stable output regulation across –40°C to 85°C junction range (E-grade). |
| Gate Drive Voltage | 5V (INTVCC) - optimized for logic-level N-MOSFETs with low RDS(on), enabling efficient high-current boost stages. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 65mV to 90mV (adjustable via ITH) - provides accurate peak current limiting with <10mV channel-to-channel matching. |
| Soft-Start Control | Internal 5µA current source into SS pin - enables controlled ramp-up of output voltage to prevent inrush current and overshoot. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-Lead Narrow Plastic SSOP (GN24), 0.025" lead pitch, θJA = 85°C/W, exposed pad not present (unlike QFN/TSSOP variants).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DMAX (Pin 1) | Maximum duty cycle programming | Connect to SGND/float/3V8 to select 96%/84%/75% limit - ensures safe operation at high VIN-to-VOUT ratios. |
| GATE1/GATE2 (Pins 16, 18) | N-channel MOSFET gate drivers | 5V outputs referenced to PGND - drive logic-level MOSFETs directly; each rated for 6V max absolute voltage. |
| SENSE1+/SENSE2+ (Pins 23, 13) | Positive current sense inputs | Differential inputs to current comparators - interface with low-side sense resistors for accurate peak current detection. |
| FB (Pin 8) | Error amplifier inverting input | Connects to resistive divider from VOUT - sets regulated output voltage with 1.223V internal reference. |
| SYNC (Pin 11) | PLL synchronization input | Accepts 50–650kHz external clock - aligns GATE1 rising edge to SYNC rising edge for deterministic multi-phase timing. |
| CLKOUT (Pin 10) | Phase-locked clock output | Drives SYNC input of downstream LTC3862 - enables daisy-chained 2-/3-/4-/6-/12-phase systems without external clock generator. |
| PHASEMODE (Pin 4) | Inter-channel phase configuration | Float/SGND/3V8 selects 180°/180°/120° CH1–CH2 phase offset - reduces input capacitor RMS current in multi-phase designs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-phase interleaved operation | Reduces input/output capacitor RMS current by ~30% vs. single-phase, lowering thermal stress and component count. |
| Programmable leading-edge blanking | Adjustable minimum on-time (180ns/260ns/340ns via BLANK pin) - suppresses gate-drive-induced current-sense noise during MOSFET turn-on. |
| Internal cascaded LDOs | 5V INTVCC (for gate drivers) + 3.8V 3V8 (for analog/digital core) - eliminates need for external bias rails while isolating power domains. |
| Precision RUN pin threshold | 1.22V enable threshold with 80mV hysteresis - enables clean, noise-immune power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| Adjustable slope compensation | SLOPE pin sets gain (0.625×/1.0×/1.66× nominal) - stabilizes current mode control across wide duty cycle and inductor value ranges. |

FAQ
What is the maximum achievable output voltage using LTC3862EGN#TRPBF in a boost configuration?
The LTC3862EGN#TRPBF itself does not impose a hard upper limit on output voltage; it is constrained by external component ratings and stability. With its 96% max duty cycle and 36V max VIN, practical output voltages reach 48V–60V in well-designed boost converters using appropriate MOSFETs, diodes, and output capacitors rated for ≥2× VOUT. The IC's 5V gate drive targets logic-level MOSFETs optimized for <60V VDS.
Does LTC3862EGN#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, LTC3862EGN#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via its SYNC pin, which accepts input frequencies from 50kHz to 650kHz. The internal PLL locks to the external clock, aligning the rising edge of GATE1 with the SYNC rising edge. This enables deterministic multi-phase operation across multiple LTC3862EGN#TRPBF units in daisy-chain configurations.
How does the DMAX pin affect the operation of LTC3862EGN#TRPBF, and what are the three supported settings?
The DMAX pin on LTC3862EGN#TRPBF programs the maximum duty cycle: connecting to SGND sets 96%, leaving it floating sets 84%, and connecting to 3V8 sets 75%. This setting derives from a precise 12× internal clock and prevents instability or shoot-through in high-step-up applications. All three values are guaranteed across temperature and process variation.
Can LTC3862EGN#TRPBF be used in SEPIC topology, and what design considerations apply?
Yes, LTC3862EGN#TRPBF supports SEPIC topology per its datasheet description and typical application circuits. Key considerations include using coupled inductors or separate inductors with matched values, ensuring proper current-sense placement on the switch node side, and verifying loop stability with slope compensation adjusted via the SLOPE pin for the specific duty cycle range.
What is the purpose of the 3V8 pin on LTC3862EGN#TRPBF, and how must it be decoupled?
The 3V8 pin on LTC3862EGN#TRPBF is the output of an internal LDO supplying 3.8V to low-voltage analog and digital control circuitry. It must be decoupled with a 1nF ceramic capacitor (X5R or better) placed between 3V8 and SGND, located as close as possible to the IC. This pin is not intended to power external circuitry.
